The fine print
Each verdict links to the quote it rests on.
- Free for
- As long as you stay within the limits
- At the limit
- Not documented
- Spending cap
- Built in: usage stops at the free limit
- Idle projects
- Paused after 90 days without activityThe Terms deem a Free Account Abandoned once nobody has logged in for 90 days (running monitors do not count), and let StatusCake pause, suspend or delete it at its discretion (a right, not a fixed schedule). StatusCake aims to send a reminder 30 days before an account becomes Abandoned.
- Data retention
- Free resources deleted after 90 days without activity
- Card at sign-up
- Not requiredStatusCake says sign-up needs only a name, an email address and the site to monitor; Google and Microsoft sign-in also work. Each customer may hold one Free Account.
- Identity check
- An email address
- Commercial use
- RestrictedFree is pitched at individuals and small businesses, and the Terms let you use monitoring data for your business's internal purposes, but the Free Account is for your own personal use with no shared login. On every plan you may monitor only sites you own, control or have written permission to monitor, and may not use the service to keep a website, app or bot alive.
